A new Era is here and we continue our coverage of the Era of Andor in Star Wars Galaxy of Heroes with Major Partagaz joining the game, and it is time to review mods for this new Era unit. During my time with Gaming Fans I started the “best mods” series of articles which turned out to be what put the site on the radar of the community and with EA Capital Games. While my days with Gaming Fans are well behind me, I have been writing mod guides like this one since the early days of SWGoH mods when they were added to the game in 2018. Fortunately, writing these mod guides continues to be a way for me to continue to enjoy Galaxy of Heroes now that I have been playing this game for over a decade. I will seek to keep the same high quality content going as I continue the “best mods in SWGoH” series today with the Best Mods for Major Partagaz.
The newest character in Star Wars Galaxy of Heroes, Major Partagaz is an Era Unit Marquee character who joined the game in early April 2026. Partagaz is the calculating, cold-blooded head of the ISB in the Andor series — a man whose quiet authority and surgical precision made him one of the most chilling figures in the Empire’s intelligence apparatus. Where Dedra Meero operated with ambition and urgency, Partagaz operated with patience and control, letting the system work while knowing exactly when to intervene. For the purposes of SWGoH, Major Partagaz is a Dark Side Support character who also carries the Leader ability for the ISB squad, fitting into the Imperial and ISB factions. Let’s take a look at how we want to focus the mod stat gains for Major Partagaz in Galaxy of Heroes.
Note that I have learned that I get a bit wordy in these Best Mods articles, so as a result the TL;DR on mods for Major Partagaz is below. Also, I added a new(er) format on the recommendations below which I hope will help make these best mods articles easier to decipher.
Era of Andor – SWGoH Era of Andor Characters:
- Kleya Marki
- Vel Sartha
- Cinta Kaz
- Dedra Meero
- Major Partagaz
- KX Security Droid
- Cassian Andor (Undercover)
Main Mod Stats to focus on…
Major Partagaz is the ISB squad’s Leader and its primary engine for calling assists, applying Target Lock, and keeping the team’s Rank climbing. His kit rewards turn frequency above almost everything else. His Basic, Thesis Please, calls another ISB ally to assist on every turn and inflicts Health Down on the target — and at Rank 3, it also Dazes the enemy, further disrupting their ability to counter, assist, or gain bonus Turn Meter. His Special, Authority Is Brittle, calls all ISB allies to assist, Target Locks all enemies when the full squad is ISB, and reduces all ISB ally cooldowns by 1 if the target was already Target Locked. The cooldown reduction alone makes getting to this ability quickly — and cycling back to it often — one of the most important things Partagaz can do in a fight.
Speed is therefore the clear top priority for Major Partagaz mods. The faster he moves, the sooner the ISB squad benefits from his assist calls, the more reliably the team climbs Rank, and the more often Authority Is Brittle cycles. His Leader ability, Calibrate Your Enthusiasm, opens the battle by inflicting Potency Down and Speed Down on all enemies and granting ISB allies 30 Speed and 50% bonus Protection — so Partagaz himself benefits from every point of Speed you can stack on top of that Leader bonus.
Potency is the second priority. His Basic’s Health Down and his Leader’s opening Speed Down and Potency Down debuffs all benefit from Potency support to land consistently against Tenacity-stacked opponents, particularly in GAC where Tenacity sets are common. His Unique, Security is an Illusion, stacks enemy Potency down by 5% per debuff Partagaz inflicts (up to 50% total), which compounds over time — but you need those early debuffs to land first. Health is a useful third stat given his role as the squad’s Leader and the character you most want to survive long enough to cycle Authority Is Brittle repeatedly. Notably, his Unique also makes him untargetable at the start of battle when all allies are ISB, which reduces the urgency of stacking pure survivability stats — Speed and Potency remain the cleaner investment.
Which Mod Sets to use & Dev Recommendations for Major Partagaz
Just like with the earlier Era of Andor characters, these new Era units are added to the game and we will not have any ability to use them with mods for quite some time from the start of the Era outside of the Coliseum game mode. As a result, it will be well into 2026 before Major Partagaz is fully available to use in other areas of SWGoH with a complete mod loadout. My recommendation is to run a Speed set of 4 and a Potency set of 2, with Speed and Potency as the dominant secondary targets and Health as a supporting stat. When the devs chime in with their mod recommendations, I will gladly compare and make any needed adjustments. Until then, here are my recommendations for the best mods for Major Partagaz:
- Transmitter (Square) – The Transmitter mod always has a primary focus on offense.
